"Kingfisher is transportive on every level. Cocooned in gilded wallpaper, the dramatically-lit dining room is a glittering backdrop for its menu of Vietnamese-French food, like a spicy spin on beef tartare with thai chiles and crispy shallots that not only reimagine the bistro classic. There’s also a show-stopping platter of dry-aged seared duck breast and confit duck leg that usually sells out before the end of the night, and a flan cloaked in Vietnamese coffee syrup, one of the city’s best desserts. The drink menu is worth its own review, but we’ll stop at the Saigon Moped, a mix of gin, debitterized bitter melon, perilla, and lime that makes a perfect sidecar for the salt-and-pepper fish belly snack that’s served only at the bar." - candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candic
